Peter Yarrow (born May 31, 1938) is a Jewish-American singer best known as Peter from Peter, Paul and Mary. It was Yarrow who wrote that group's most famous song, "Puff the Magic Dragon". He received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Cornell University in 1959.

In 1970 he pled guilty to taking "immoral and indecent liberties" with a 14-year-old fan and served three months in prison. In 1981 he was pardoned by President Jimmy Carter. Yarrow called the incident "the most terrible mistake I have ever made."
